Filling blocks for insulation?? What do you use??

 

When mine was built about 20 years ago, they used a coarse granular insulation material. Came in bags like concrete mix, just poured it down into the blocks as they built it.

Should add that I'm not all that impressed by its insulating properties.

Painting the block. I would like to do this before roof doors and windows. Will Gravity spray gun handle Latex Duo paint?? What would you thin latex with or would you? And is primer for this also latex? I guess it is since it is a Duo paint? Can I spray with this gun or do I need to get a airless?? I know a lot about paint....it comes in different colors!!!

You would have to thin latex with water. Be a pain in the uknow in a gravity gun. Airless would be the way to go to get a good seal on that porous block and fast to just follow it up with a fluffy roller to smooth out any streaks you might get. You can rent them at paint stores or rental outlets 1 day will be more than enough time to do they job.

 

I doubt the gravity gun would handle it without making thin as water and multiple coats.

Thanks Vincent. Talking to you last night I'm thinking Rent sprayer and paint block inside and out before Roof, doors & windows. Color inside?? I was going to go with the silver strofoam board inside v/s paint but am leaning toward paint. More insulation but Silver board just might be too much on eyes all around you?? Now to find a place that rents sprayers here.

I'm thinking that furring out the walls with 2x2 with foam insulation and drywall would be ideal. Gives you an attachment for shelves, cabinets and anything else you want to hang. Then WHITE paint the walls. I emphasize white because you will want that for light reflection.
